It would be worth his time to mention that many many people who get cancer in the US would get no treatment at all-- and lose those 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years that he may get-- due to our barbaric lack of single-payer health care.

It might be a decent thing to highlight for all those people who stupidly say that "everyone gets care here-- if only through the ER," -- which is a goddamn lie-- cuz no ER gives you Chemo do they?
